[Farside Investors](https://farside.co.uk/btc/) still printed the **August 26** row at **+$232.2 million** net, an eighth cash session in the green, because [Grayscale's 0.15 percent mini created $46.8 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092739851841880253) and [BlackRock's IBIT created $200.8 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092825320902595005). ## One issuer, two wrappers Five funds created and one redeemed. IBIT **+$200.8 million**. [Fidelity's FBTC created $25.6 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092772448886198689). The Grayscale mini BTC **+$46.8 million**. [Bitwise's BITB created $6.0 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092738978432573786). [Morgan Stanley's MSBT created $3.4 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092738122459000946). [GBTC redeemed $50.4 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092739853481841021). ARK, Invesco, Franklin, Valkyrie, VanEck, and WisdomTree printed **0.0**. [Farside's bundled card](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092825352078758288) matches the live table: **232.2** net, IBIT **200.8**, GBTC **−50.4**, mini **46.8**. Those five green cells sum to **$282.6 million**. Subtract GBTC and you get **$232.2 million**. IBIT is about **86 percent** of the net. The mini is about **20 percent** of the net on its own, and it covers about **93 percent** of the GBTC redemption. Compare that with [Tuesday](/en/posts/2026-08-26-etf-inflow-314m-aug-25-ibit/), when five funds created, none redeemed, and IBIT did **90 percent** of a **$314.3 million** sheet. Wednesday is smaller in dollars. It is also the first day of the streak with a redemption column. GBTC still charges **1.50 percent**. The mini charges **0.15 percent**. The two cells landing on the same issuer, in opposite directions, is a share-class rotation on Farside's own fee row, not a read of who is buying bitcoin. [Sats Intel](https://www.satsintel.io/en/etfs/flows), last updated **04:12 UTC** on August 27, still showed **+$185.4 million** with IBIT **+$200.8 million** and GBTC **−$50.4 million**. Add the missing mini cell and you get **232.2**. This time the restatement was the Grayscale mini. Ethereum products stayed green and grew.

The Grayscale mini ETH [**+$34.7 million**](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092739784003231991). [Fidelity's FETH created $32.0 million](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092772382360662258). BlackRock's ETHB [**+$6.4 million**](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092825255383310426). 21Shares' TETH **+$2.7 million**. Franklin's EZET **+$0.9 million**. The other four ETH funds printed **0.0**. The [ETH total card](https://x.com/FarsideUK/status/2092825276765917442) matches **192.4**. ETHA is about **60 percent** of that net.

IBIT took **$2,024.9 million** of that, about **72 percent**. Fidelity added **$438.7 million**. Wednesday is the streak's second-smallest day, ahead of only August 18. The eight ETH sessions in the same window add **$1,180.4 million** (30.9 + 71.4 + 186.8 + 219.5 + 184.0 + 115.6 + 179.8 + 192.4).

The CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate New York Variant on that page printed **$78,441.71**, about **$584** under Crypto.com's UTC 1D settle of **$79,025.30**.
